Error 404 (Not Found)!!1President Trump said Thursday he is disappointed in Attorney General William Barr for saying that the Justice Department had not uncovered evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
Trump pushed back on the comments Barr made in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this week that represented a break with the president’s own unsubstantiated claims about fraud in the election.
“He hasn’t done anything, so he hasn’t looked. When he looks, he’ll see the kind of evidence that right now you are seeing in the Georgia Senate. They are going through hearings right now in Georgia and they are finding tremendous volumes,†Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “So, they haven’t looked very hard. Which is a disappointment, to be honest with you, because it's massive fraud.â€
The president also declined to offer a vote of confidence in Barr when asked.
“Ask me that in a number of weeks from now. They should be looking at all of this fraud,†he said. “This is not civil. He thought it was civil. This is not civil. This is criminal stuff. This is very bad criminal stuff.â€
